1. the elimination experiment performed in lab this week called for the use of koh and potassium tert-butoxide as the bases forming two possible products.

would the expected result be different if we use potassium tert-butoxide vs koh as the base? explain your answer.

2. the elimination reaction you performed in lab was also studied by other researchers to examine the alkene distribution using bulky vs. non-bulky base.
perform a literature search to find a paper that used the exact same starting material. print the first page of the paper and give the following information from the paper.

what were the two bases used with 2-bromo-2-methylbutane? what was the distribution of the alkene products?

3. predict the major elimination product of the following reaction, support your answer by showing the mechanism of the reaction.
